Weather or not, when she has to close down her industries, discontinue her exports upon which she depends for food and economic balance, the situation be-cojnes serious. When people get cold and hungry, and there is no longer the war and immediate ph'ysical salvation as incentive, they become impatienteven long-suffering Britons. ; It is not unduly critical or even in an unfriend-lyjspirit to observe that the Labor government is running into serious difficulties. Nor is it because of any spirit of inimicability to suggest that the force of circumstances of a hard winter which admittedly, of course, accentuates the situation isthe sole cause of the rapidly deteriorating economic and political position. Members of the gov-erment themselves are frankly admitting the deterioration. j The. experience of some countries in the past,, on; arriving at a situation of economic and politi-caWrisis such as the United Kingdom finds itself in today, has been to go to one extreme or another inS political administration fascism or communism. However, there is little likelihood of steady-gding Britons, no matter how hard hit they may be, ddjng that. Unless conditions improve unexpectedly and rabidly, the present Labor government will, it ap-pt&rs almost certain, be overthrown on some issue orj other either domestic or international. The prpbably is that solution and relief will then be found again, as it has been in the past, in some form ofi national administration with all reasonable elements combining in the face of emergency. i i H Military Service compulsory military UNIVERSAL service under any : scheme of immigration is ; advocated as the key to rapjd assimilation of Dew-comers seeking to make Can-adf their home,. In an autobiography by the late Ma.-Gen. William A. Griesbach, noted soldier and legislator of Edmonton. It was he, who a ttf days alter outbreak of war In 1939 urged Immediate conscription In Canada and thf despatch of an expeditionary force as soon as it could be trained and properly equipped ' he book, "I " Remember," (Ryerson Press), is a graphic, wity narrative by a Westerner who lived through the frontier skirmishes of the North-West and served with distinction through three wars. Variously; mayor of Edmonton, member of the House of Cdmmons. the Senate and commander of the 1st Canadian Brigade In the First World War, General Griesbach was recalled from retirement in 1940 to become inspector-general of active force unjits in Western Canada, a port he held until ill health forced him out in 1943. The reminiscences he embarked upon in bit book were cut shprt by death in January, 1915, before he had set down recollections of an eventual career during the last two wajrs. Canada's best immigrants, hej says, are Norwegians, Dutch and Danes, who come Irim small countries, learn English easily and are fully prepared for constitutional, democratic government. The German probably has it in him to be the best settler of alt, but it is not until the third generation that he ac-qujres loyalty and can be fully trtLsted. ?It begins to appear as thsh weshaU have dim-cultyln getting any substan- CHURCH HEAD COMING HERE ,FJ)r the first time id many years, Prince Rupert Is to have a visit from a moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church In Canada.

Educational Balance BALANCE of educational THE activity in the academic stages High School and University is a subject of popular discussion. The difficulty Is that few students strike the true balance. Fetish is usually made of one phase or another study, social, cultural activities or athletics. The University should be a place to develop social and cultural activities as well as the primary academic ones. It is a mistake, of course, to make social life the main school aim. Nor is exam passing enough either. Today as always, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. The old idea was that pretty well everything we did at school and college was study. The new Idea seems to. be tending to the extreme In the other direction sports and social activity are much emphasized. The thing is to strike the happy medium and. by education, become really rounded out. tial British Immigration in the future," he writes. 'This, of course, Is the ideal class. But I say, In handling immigration of any kind, universal compulsory military service is the key to a rapid assimilation of newcomers." The expeditions undertaken by the mounted police is 1885 against Louis Riel and his rebel followers, he says, were largely based on bluff but bolstered by courage, physical strength" and determination. "Had the mounted police been, Instead of 500 strong, more like 1,500, the rebellion might never have got under way at all," he wrote. Although a lawyer by profession, -Bill" Griesbach was primarily a soldier, and most of his humor-laden anecdotes deal with men in the scarlet of the R.C.M.P. or the khaki of the armed forces.

Daily News Not long ago we saw advertising space being sold in a public place. A party bargained 'for a certain space. Two minutes later the proprietor approached the buyer asking: "Will this be used for religious purposes?" The reply was: "Scripture quotations might at times ibe displayed there." The proprietor then begged off the deal, claiming that the other advertisers, might On another occasion we were Informed by an educator at a public meeting that in public school any religion might be freely discussed in class except Christian religion, discussion of which Is foraicden. Quite recently an educator known throughout British Columbia Informed us that they didn't think anybody believed the Bible nowadays. Now. sir. we would like to know what is meant by "religious freedom in Canada " As far as Christianity is concerned it is certainly not freedom OF religion. We suggest it may mean freedom FROM religion. This is further borne out by the report we read in the Vancouver Sun of February 5 that a Reverend J. Burton Thomas, addressing a convention In Vancouver, said: "We go on bleat-j lng about freedom and democracy but our democracy has very HtUe intelligence and almost no plan. To save ItseM from disaster the world needs a new polley that will conscript and compel evjry man to do his duty and to accept truth without fear or prejudice."1 (Desirable as It might be. the words "conscript' and "compel" indicate dictatorship, not religious freedom. Jesus said: "The time coraetn when the true worshipper shall worship God In spirit and In truth for the Father seeketh such to worship Him." And again: "He that come after Me let him DENY HIMSELF and take up his cross and follow Me Again the "concerted drive by the Ministerial Association" re the Sunday concert evidently overlooks the instruction: "Who art thou the Judgest another man's servant, to his own Master he staadeth or f alleth."

Asking his mornln? congregation as. to whom of all persons topped the list for their respect and esteem, Rev. A. F. Mac- Swcen, at mornlns service in First Presbyterian Church, asked if It had not, been one, whp, depending upon divine sustenance. devoted himself to the unselfish service of others, rather than whose main consideratlcn might be dollars, and cents, tons, quarts, academic attainments or social values or the disillusioned person who, having frond his own road of life had come to a dead end. cynically concluded that all roads led to a similar end. Mr. MacSween preachea from John 7:37: "It any man thirst. let him come unto me. and drink.' suggesting the need for spiritual guidance and solace was as great In thes times as any but. possibly, too little realized.

That has been the first greeting and last remark ex-! changed between old and young I alike for the past few weeks. It ! hasn't been as tuneful, perhaps. ! as George Formby makes it (If you find him tuneful), and. It hasn't always been sung for It is as hard to sing while thawing out fingers and pipes as It is to whistle after swallowing a couple of dry crackers. Whistling too has been reduced to a minimum although facial expressions might have warranted such expectation. More than once mine has been drawn into such knotty pucker but only as I found parts of my anatomy particularly tender after an unpremeditated encounter with an icy street. In the midst of such difficulties, it is surprising how many dormant, resourceful qualities come to the fore, of which wc were totally unaware. One man in town arose one beautiful but cold morning to f:nd his taps no longer ran water. U was quite evident that the line was frozen and to reach that frozen portion meant a hoie in the wall and various other disagreeable forms of work. By gently tapping along that wall, aided by the power of deduction, the. exact position of the pipe was ascertained. Meanwhile, the teakettle, which luektly had not frozen up, bad come to a boil, the contents of which were hastily transferred from said kettle to one, a flat black ob)et commonly kHown as a hut-water bottle. Th!.s was placed quickly against the spot marked: "X" on the wall and held there by another Inspnlous. arrangement. Results? Why, ble&i that bottle! After two or three rcp'nisliings. water gushed forth as in days of yore. All the same, this cold snap has been hard on people, some moiB than others. The plumbers of the city felt the sting as much as any. inc. Besides being heckled by phone calls and bela; rushed off their feet by irate custem-ers one or two were also un fortunate enough to rouse the fury of their employer. One lady in the business section of the city found that Jack Frost was no't above attacking her pipes also. A call to a reliable plumber brought the assurance that a man would be sent immediately to the scent. In a very few minutes, a grateful lady was showing: a workman the solid water system which he viewed with the air of having seen others like them withlnj recent times. Forty minutes later everything was baeli to normal and the plumber gathered hli tools and left. Which was lovely until the next day when the mall-box delivered up a bill amounting to the tidy figure of $i70. As perfectly formed as were those figures, and ueat, there was that about them that made this lady annoyed. And each cn-suh$ "lance added to that annoyance. Finally, reaching full fury, the receiver came off its hook and a call was made in whleh "excessive charge" was In the first sentence.
